Rooted Nomad immersive exhibition - personal impressions

 If you love projected images, as I do, modern art, and the vibrant colors of India, then you must see the Rooted Nomad immersive exhibition about M. F. Husain.

He was an Indian artist born in rural India who went to the city with no money, determined to become an artist. At the very beginning, he even slept on the streets. Over time, he rose to become an internationally recognized modern artist.

Some of his paintings remind me of Picasso, which is why I privately call him “the Indian Picasso.” He was also incredibly versatile and intensely productive, creating more than 40,000 paintings during his lifetime.

At a certain point in his life, he gave up wearing shoes as an act of solidarity with those who could not afford any. He lived to the age of 95 and died in London as a citizen of Qatar.

Location: Qatar Museums Gallery, Katara, Building 10
Date: 28 October 2025 – 7 February 2026
Time: 09:00 am – 07:00 pm

Only one more week to see it! According to my experience, you can simply walk in and enjoy the immersive exhibition—there’s no need to buy tickets online.
